Me gusta...

Inspired by another blogger (my preacher,) here are my likes and dislikes. I call them "152 insights into my soul," as a tribute to one of my very favorite movies. :) (Which one? I know my best friends will know it...or at least Julie will.) Okay, so there aren't quite 152 of them, but after you start reading, I'm sure you'll be thankful for that.

I love my family, Abilene sunsets, constellations, popcorn, holidays, pictures, Mary Engelbreit's art, and laughing til I cry. I love sappy romantic movies and books that make me laugh and cry. I love long conversations with friends, good debates, and getting notes from my strongest and most encouraging friend, Becca. I love barbeque, fajitas, baked ziti, gelato, and Orbit gum. I love Disney World; Glenwood Springs, Colorado; daydreaming about visiting Italy, and the notion of a soul mate. I love going to bed late and getting up somewhat early. I love my apartment and independence. I love music and reading my bible and talking to God. To have a life this full of wonderful things is just another testimony to the fact that I have been richly blessed.
